ROBERT ARRETUS CORN, or HALE wool), NORTH CAROLINA.

HILLSIDE-PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 381,909, dated May 1, 1888.

Application filed November 26, 1887. Serial No 256,230. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:-

Be it known that I, ROBERT ARRETUS CORN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hale Wood, in the county of Madison and State of North Carolina,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hillside-Flows; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to side-hill plows; and it consists in the construction and novel combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a side hill plow embodying improvements of my invention; and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, showing the lower portion of the plow-standard and the doublepointed plow=point in section.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates the plow-beam; B, the plow-standard, and O D the plow -handles, which are secured to the plow-beam near the rear end of the latter in any of the well-known ways commonly practiced.

The plow-standard B is preferably curved downwardly and forwardly, and is rabbeted or cut away in its front face near its lower end, and is slightly enlarged laterally below the double-beveled shoulder E, the bevels or inclines F G of the shoulder E being made downwardly and inwardly from the side faces of the plow-standard toward each other immediately above the laterally-enlarged seat portion of the standard.

I designates a casting or toe=plate,which is made concave longitudinally in its front face and tapers both ways from its center.

The double pointed plow-point K is made concave centrally, and its ends project beyond the ends of the casting or toe-plate I, to which it is secured by rivet-bolts in the usual man ner of securing plow-points in place. The toe-plate I is pivoted to the face of the rabbeted portion L below the doublebeveled shoulder E by a countersunk bolt, M, which is passed through a centrally=located bolthole, N, in the toe-plate before the double 'pointed plow-point is secured to place on said made longitudinally in the rear face of the standard B. The lever S is provided with an angular bend, U, just below the upper end of the plow-standard. The arm W of the lever extends above the plow=beam a proper distance to be conveniently reached by the plowman, and said arm W is provided with a knifeedge which engages the teeth of a rack-plate, X, secured to the upper face of the plow-beam, so that the lever may be held to its adjustments.

A guard, Y, is provided at the side of the plow-beam, and is designed to protect the arm of the lever S and prevent its accidental displacement.

When t-he arm of the lever S is moved forward to the front end of the toothed rackplate X, the toe of said lever will be withdrawn from whichever seat in the toe-plate or casting it may at the time occupy, and the plowpoint may be turned on its pivot to change it from a right to a left throw mold-board, and vice versa, so that a hillside may be traversed to and fro and the furrows be thrown all in the same direction.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. The combination, with a plow-standard having the longitudinal recess T, the doubleloeveled shoulder D, and the laterally-extended portion, of the wedge-shaped concave casting having the central bolt-seat and the seats P Q, the pivot=bolt, the double-pointed plowpoint, the lever fulcrumed in the recess T and provided with the toe for engaging the seats in the toe-plate, the lever-arm provided with a knife-edge, and the rack -plate secured to the plow-beam, substantially as specified.
